American infantrymen advance through jungle in Bougainville, Solomon Islands

American infantrymen scramble throught jungle in Bougainvilie, Solomon Islands. One soldier fires a flame thrower, which produces a large fireball that burns portions of the underbrush.

Riflemen watch carefully for emerging Japanese soldiers after flame throwers are used. (World War II period).
